I drew up a little guest comic for my friend Scott who is on vacation this week. It is showcased today on his webcomic called: HellHasFoundMe. It made me chuckle if I do say so myself.

Doing a guest comic is challenging since the artist has to draw another artist’s characters in your own style. Of course the subject matter of the gag should be in concert with the characters and their comic theme. All and all, a great exercise for a comic artist

HellHasFoundMe is a gamer theme comic but so much more. His comic is more of an ongoing series of character driven storylines interpersed with slice of life type of humor. I enjoy Scott’s skill at pen and ink hatch marks and his excellent freeform style. So, move your little mouse cursers over to Scott’s url, click over to his webcomic HellHasFoundMe, and check it out.

I have to share this video with my readers who are the creative types. I found this talk on www.webcomics.com and it was so good I have to post it here to spread the word. Elizabeth Gilbert talks about the source of creativity and how it may not all be your fault. She expresses her belief that those who unduly suffer from their own creativity can separate themselves from their creative outlet and not suffer from the effects of trying to complete projects and ‘outdo’ their last piece of work. Whether you are a writer, an artist, or something else, watch this talk and rethink your relationship with your creativity.

Hello Imp Fans!

I have been hard at work at producing the first Imp Comic! Imp Comic #1 is a mini-comic (about 12 pages) of devilish fun, set to be available this fall. I will have more details in the coming month but I thought I would offer this preview! Look below for a sneak peek at the cover of the all new comic book:

Wednesday through Sunday this week is Comic Con International, the biggest comic convention around that takes place in sunny San Diego, California. Unfortunately, this year, I will not be there to enjoy the fun and wonder that is comics, movies, and like. For those of you who are there now…I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. No really…I really hate you. I love Comic Con and all the entertainment it brings…from the latest in books and toys to buy, to the panels, to the never before seen trailers for the up and coming movies, to the information at the workshops on how to draw webcomics. I will miss it all this year.

If you are going…have a great time…no really…have a GREAT time. Tell me all about it and take those awesome pictures. I will be living vicariously through you.

I hope to attend next year if I can get a hotel room within a 50 miles radius of the city and if I have the money. I look forward to seeing everyone’s pictures and scoping youtube for videos that people post of the fun.

Congratulations to Leslie from the grand state of Utah for winning the Imp T-shirt contest! All submissions were excellent but I had to pick one and Leslie’s idea was the best. In a few weeks I will have the design of the shirt finished and available to all Imp fans to buy at the Imp store.

Thank you for all the great shirt ideas sent in and congratulations to Leslie! She will receive her free T-shirt with her very own design in the mail very soon.

I will be posting the design on the blog in the next week. So, stay tuned and check out the new Imp shirt!
